Fun Online Polls: Cheryl Cole née Tweedy & Pakistan

You really are a cynical bunch. The responses to last week's Fun Online Poll question, "Did Cheryl Cole née Tweedy really have malaria?" were as follows:

Who's Cheryl Cole née Tweedy? - 69%
Nah, she just wanted an excuse for a few weeks off work - 21%
Yes, she caught it while doing something for charity in Africa - 10%


FYI, Cheryl Cole née Tweedy is the little Geordie lass with dimples who's on the telly and in celebrity mags a lot. And the official version is that she caught malaria while doing something for charity in Africa.

So in future, when the do-gooders start wailing on about what a terrible killer malaria is, just remind them that Oor Cheryl came down with the disease on or about 6 July 2010, but by 16 August 2010 she was back on top form, flying out to Los Angeles to appear in a new telly program.

It's interesting to note that the Yanks don't seem to have any sort of immigration restrictions for people carrying potentially infectious diseases, and for those doubters who reckon she was ill with an eating disorder (NewSpeak for 'starving herself to death to comply with some modern fad or other'), the later reports informs us that "rather than devour the food and feed her dramatically decreased appetite, Cheryl chose to chain-smoke and down cocktails instead."

Staying vaguely in the same theme, this week's Fun Online Poll asks "Have you donated (or will you donate) to charities collecting money for the Pakistan flood relief thingy?"

OT - but have you seen Redwood proposing to sell planning permission and dole the money out to the NIMBY's?

Not much makes my blood boil these days MW, but Redwood has done it!

" that Oor Cheryl "

If that is supposed to be in Geordie then shouldn't it be "Wor Cheryl"?

SL, I fired off a reply first thing this morning, but well said anyway.

R, I wasn't sure about the correct misspelling. According to VIZ it is "woar" or "wor".
